I have not decided if I will continue on in my U2 lyric blogs or not. It is time however for me to clear out the SD card on our low quality camera. We have a Kodak EasyShare C813 which was actually a Christmas gift from us to our daughter but in reality it was replacing an older Kodak that went belly up. I chose this model as it took the same type of rechargeable battery and the old camera’s charging dock still worked. So, we keep the old camera around solely to use it as a battery charger as the new camera, while it takes the same battery, does not work with the charging dock.
Anyway, from time to time the SD card gets full and it is time to rummage through it to see what it was that we took pictures of. I have blogged in the past that there are an uncanny number of close of photos of my son’s facial features (particularly his nose from some reason) and today’s digging (no pun intended) found a few up close nasal passage photos. I will spare you those but will move on to some random, low quality photos that I found interesting.
We finally finished out state quarter collection. Believe it or not, it took us over 3 years to fill this book (Maine and Mississippi were the last 2 in case you were wondering). It was a very nice feeling as I slid the last quarter into its hole. I snapped this photo and then emptied the book out and placed the $12.50 on the principal of our mortgage. I did this as the collecting of the quarters was more fun than just looking at them. I did keep the book though and have started collecting them again. At the time of this post we are still 43 shy of filling the book again (and yes, we are missing Maine and Mississippi).
This rainbow lasted for only a few minutes. It was much brighter when we first saw it then 2 minutes later when I grabbed the camera and put on my sandals to head outside to snap this photo. While this rainbow was from a few weeks ago, my mother did call me yesterday morning asking me to run outside to see if I could locate the rainbow she was looking at from her porch. Since she is several miles away and I am surrounded by trees, I could not see it.
McKinney (our new standard poodle puppy) got her first trimming this week. She is all puppy and Nina (our 3 year old Doberman) is very tolerant of her. Oreo (not pictured) really wants no part of McKinney’s playful attitude. I think once McKinney gets a few more months on her, she and Nina will be best of buddies.
This is a picture of an empty box. The wife took the last of her part time job money and bought an above ground pool this past week. As I was unpacking it, there was this box. I can understand the concept of an empty box to make sure that the contents of the pool package stay in place during shipping but what I find incredibly funny is that the box has a part number tied to it. I can see some Chinese worker (where I am sure this pool was made) yelling, “Hey Chuck, hand me a few of those 54410-EMPTY parts, would ya?”
Thank you for taking the time for this random photo blog.
